THE FIRE RECORD.

Kokomo's Loss More Serious than First Re-
ported-RebuildinE to Commence at Once.
Special to the indianapolis Journal
KoKoMo, Ind, Jan. 19--The destruction Of
the three-story block at the northeast corner of
the public square, last night, proves to be seri-
Gus loss, and will interfere largely with the bust
ness interests of Kokomo for some time. The
fire appears to have started in the sash and door
room OF Pickett & McNeil's hardware store--a
room in which there had been no fire for ten
years. Everything points to incendiarism, al
though plausible motive seems lacking. The
a few moments before the discovery Of the
flames 10 the hardware store points clearly to a
scheme to draw the FIRE department away from
the central part of the city, and
to the fact that they were engaged
in fighting these two fires at the time the last
was discovered is attributed not only the loss Of
the entire block, but the strong belief that it
was set on fre by some one.
The K. of p Good Intent Lodge, No. 49, lose

New York Republ

New York Republicans Nominate Hiscock.
ALBANY, N. Y, Jan. 19-The caucus of the
Republican members of the State Legislature
met again tonight, for the purpose of selecrshe
a candidate for United States Senator, to sue
coed Senator Warner Miller At the two pre-
vious caucuses four ballots had been taken. and
the caucus proceeded to the fifth ballot. The
candidates we're Senator Miller, Hon. Levi P.
Morton and Congressman Frank Hiscock. The
ballot resulted as follows: Miller, 46; Morton,
SO; Hiscock. IL. This was one more than Miller
had before received-Mr. Rea, who was absent
before, voting for him. From that point to the
seventeenth ballot there was change. On
the seventeenth ballot Mortons followers went
over in a body tc Hscock. and the vote stood:
Miller, 49, Hiscoek, AZ. This would have nomi-
mated Hiscock had it not been decided by the
combined vote of the Morton and Hiscock men.
when the caucus first met that majority of all
the Republicans-elect in both houses-forty
eight votes-should be required. On the
eighteenth ballot Hiscock again received the
solid Morton vote, and Mr.. Frost changed from
Miller to Hiscock, thus giving him the necessary
forty-eight, and nominating him. Other changes
made the ballot stand: Hscock. so; Miller, 43.
The choice was made unanimous. The nomna
ton is equivalent to an election. as the Repub
licans have clear majority on joint ballot.

tradisInction % exceptional classes of

that the newspaper should be indepen-
IDENTITY circumstanced. By this ] mean
it should be free of ali obligations TO
the service of special and selfish inter
ests. With our Iowa newspapers, for
instance. this independence is not so
easy a thing TO maintain as one might
think. Patronage is too frequently
made the conditions of subserviency (:

LIE OF the newspaper. Here is where

be cautions lest the bonds are placed
upon him without his knowledge. An
other form of independence that is
worthy of consideration is, iudepead-
ence of partisan politics It Is TO be
hoped the time may soon come when
the newspaper, claiming respectable
standing, will no longer be found that
will filter to the public the dirt OF Office
seeking politics. Extraordinary de-
mands are made upon the newspapers
in the heat Of Onr political campaigns.
Candidates reckon the newspaper as
their friend or enemy by the zeal with
which it defends them against street
talk and gives publicity to the gossip
damaging to the eputatiOn of their on
ponents- The newspaper cannot afford
to suffer itself to be used for sewerage
purposes. There can be no legitimate
demand upon a legitimate press for
gutter work of this or any sort 1t is
well 10 have political opinions. 1t is
we'll to maintain them in dignity 1t
Is we'll to promote in all honorable ways

the newspaper should resOlutely de-
